General Description

Hybrid SDR conguration

In addition to the narrow band SDR receiver that boasts awesome basic performance, the FTDX101MP/

FTDX101D has a hybrid SDR conguration utilizing an integrated direct sampling SDR receiver, which

permits visualization of the spectrum of the entire band in real time. By adopting the hybrid SDR method, and utilizing the features of the direct sampling method, wide-view displays of the information in the entire band in real time, and improved performance of the entire receiv- ing circuit with the narrow band SDR technology down conversion method are possible.

Comes equipped with three* types of roong lters

This transceiver is equipped with three types of roong lters for 600 Hz, 3 kHz and 12 kHz bandwidths. These narrow band lters are especially useful on a very crowded band during contests, because they can dramatically attenuate powerful out-of-band signals in the rst IF stage, and thus reduce their impact

in the second stage. Further, the excellent dynamic range and IP3 characteristics optimize the processing of all signals ranging from faint to powerful.

* The 300 Hz roong lter is also standard equipment on the MAIN band side of the FTDX101MP.

Adopts 3DSS/Hybrid Dual SDR Display

In addition to the conventional waterfall display, a 3DSS (3 Dimensions Spectrum Stream) image method has been newly adopted. The 3DSS image uses the horizontal axis (X axis) for frequency, the vertical axis (Y axis) for signal intensity, and the Z axis for time. Compared to the conventional waterfall method, the signal strength is displayed in three dimensions as well as in color, recognition of changes in the band conditions is instant, convenient and intuitive. The 3DSS waterfall display has a choice of the mono display that displays only the MAIN frequency band; or the dual display that illustrates both the MAIN and SUB frequency bands. The Hybrid Dual SDR Display presents two SDR outputs, narrow band SDR and direct sampling SDR, combined the same screen. Since the display color of each SDR output can be changed, the band re- ceived by the narrow band SDR receiver can be viewed while also observing the condition of the entire band.

High-brightness TFT full-color display with touch-panel functionality

The FTDX101MP/FTDX101D is equipped with a 7-inch full-color TFT display. Operating functions, includ- ing the receiving band noise and signal interference reduction tools, are graphically displayed. Even while involved in rigorous operations, such as DXpeditions and contests, the operator may instantly grasp the status of each function.

Filter Function Display monitors the status of the passband

In the upper part of the display, an S meter and a lter function display present the state of the pass-band.

They are arranged independently for the MAIN Band and SUB Band respectively. In addition to the oper-

ating state of the interference removal functions, the lter function information is displayed. Not only can

you grasp the operating status of WIDTH, SHIFT, NOTCH and CONTOUR at a glance, you can also view the status of the RF spectrum in the passband.

RF Pre-selector, Continuously Variable RF, & VC-TUNE

The newly developed VC tuning circuit drives a variable capacitor with a high-precision stepping motor and is comparable with a µ-Tuning mechanism, it achieves remarkable interference reduction character- istics with signicant downscaling and maximum attenuation of -70 dB. When compared with the conven- tional preset method, which switches a coil and a capacitor with a relay, the high-precision stepping motor continuously follows the frequency inside the pass-band, there is no sense of discomfort as there is with

relay switching. Even when there are multiple powerful signals in the band, ne adjustment to the optimal

tuning point is possible.

Two selectable RF Stages amplify the desired signals from low band to

high band

Push-pull RF amplier AMP1, and AMP2 are low noise negative feedback RF ampliers that may be se- lected or combined in series as is needed for various low-band, high-band, frequency and noise conditions. In addition, the IPO (Intercept Point Optimization) function maximizes the dynamic range and enhances the close multi-signal and inter-modulation characteristics of the receiver. The inuence of strong broad- casting stations, especially in the low bands, can be minimized.

WIDTH and the continuously variable Bandwidth SHIFT features per- mit elimination of interfering signals

The WIDTH feature allows the bandwidth to be narrowed by rotating the WIDTH knob. The SHIFT feature, can eliminate interference in one side of the passband. Often, weak signals disappear due to interfering signals (including pile-ups). The interfering signals may be extracted, leaving only the desired signal, be-

cause of the unique DSP sharp ltering characteristics.

CONTOUR feature is renowned for effective noise reduction

Rather than using the DSP extremely sharp attenuation characteristics, the CONTOUR circuit provides gentle shaping of the DSP passband lter, and can thus attenuate or peak bandwidth components in seg- ments. The interfering signal can be naturally shaped without having part of the signal suddenly disrupted. The contour function is very effective in making the desired signal rise out of the interference.

DNR (Digital Noise Reduction) by DSP digital processing

The incorporated digital noise reduction circuit may be set to the optimal working algorithm by varying the 15 step parameters according to the noise type.

NOTCH feature can eliminate an unwanted heterodyne, and the DNF

feature can instantly attenuate multiple heterodyne signals

When interfering beat signals are present in the receiver passband, the IF NOTCH feature can signicant- ly eliminate a narrow portion of the passband and remove the interfering signal. Moreover, when there are multiple interfering signals, the DSP DNF (Digital Notch Filter) Automatic Tracking System can be effec- tive, even when an interfering frequency is changing.

ABI (Active Band Indicator)

Band keys are arranged in a row at the top above the main dial so that the operation status of the MAIN and SUB Bands can be checked at a glance. The band selected on the MAIN side is white, the band se- lected on the SUB side is blue. The white and blue correspond to the colors of the MAIN and SUB Band Switches. When transmitting, the LED on the transmission band turns red. It is possible to instantly distinguish which band is transmitting and thus prevent erroneous operation. Additionally, when the band key is pressed and held, the LED lights up in orange, so you can use this to display a band connected with an antenna, display a band to be operated with a DXpedition, etc., or as a MEMO.

MPVD (MULTI PURPOSE VFO OUTER DIAL)

A large multi-functional ring, cut from high-grade aluminum is placed on the outside of the Main Dial. It is

frequently used for the SUB VFO dial, VC tune, Clarier or a CS (Custom select) function. The operator

may assign favorite functions to the MPVD that can then be operated with one touch. The ring can be used to adjust important functions without releasing your hand from the Main Dial. This feature can be a great convenience in the ever-changing shortwave radio communications.

Reliable High-output Final Amplier Stage

FTDX101MP (200W) power amplier utilizes push-pull VRF150 MOS FET devices, operating at 50V, with

excellent linearity, low distortion and high voltage tolerance. By optimizing the bias circuit for the optimal operating points, a high-quality and stable output with low distortion is realized. FTDX101D (100W) power amplier utilizes a pair of RD100HHF1 transistors in a push-pull RF arrange- ment that delivers 100 watts of low-distortion, high-quality transmitter power.

Installation and Interconnections

Antenna Considerations

The FTDX101MP/FTDX101D is designed to connect to a 50 Ohm resistive impedance antenna at the Amateur operating frequencies. Select an appropriate antenna (dipole antenna, YAGI antenna, cubical quad antenna, etc.) that is suitable for the chosen operation and bands. Construct the antenna and coaxial cable, or use a suitable antenna tuner, to maintain the impedance presented to the FTDX101MP/FTDX101D antenna connector for an SWR of 1.5 or less. Careful prepara- tion of the antenna and/or tuner will permit maximum performance, and protect the transceiver from dam- age. High transmitter RF voltages may be present on the antenna; install it so it will not be easily touched when in operation.

Antenna Connections

Carefully follow the illustration regarding the proper connection of antennas and coaxial cables.

The status of various operations that are important during receive, are shown at the bottom of the display. To change a setting, touch the appropriate location on the display.

ANT (Switching the Antenna)

The currently used antenna terminal number (“ANT 1” “ANT 2” “ANT 3 / RX”) is displayed. After touching ANT, touch the desired number. The antenna can be set separately for each oper- ation band.

The antenna terminal “ANT 3 / RX” can be set to “Receive Only” (Set Menu: “ANT 3 SELECT” page 97).

ATT (Attenuator)

Displays the current ATT (Amount of receive input signal attenuation). When the desired signal is extremely strong or the noise level is high on a low frequency band, activate the attenuator to reduce the incoming signal or noise from the antenna.

After touching [ATT], touch the desired attenua- tion amount.

The attenuator is set independently for each op- eration band.

IPO

The IPO (Intercept Point Optimization) function

can establish the gain of the RF amplier section

to accommodate the connected antenna and the received signal conditions. IPO can be selected from three operating conditions.

AMP1: One stage RF amplifier is connected.

This is a well-balanced operation of re- ceiver sensitivity and characteristics (Ap- proximately 10 dB gain).

AMP2: Two RF amplifiers are connected in se-

ries to give top priority to sensitivity (Ap- proximately 20 dB gain).

IPO: The received signal is input to the IF mix-

er without passing through the RF ampli- fier. This can greatly improve receiving, especially in the harsh low band signal environment.

After touching [IPO], touch the desired operating condition.

• IPO is set independently for each operation band.

• Normally, select “AMP1”.

• The IPO can not only attenuate the input sig-

nal but also improve the intermodulation char- acteristics. It is most effective to operate the

IPO rst, and then use the ATT if the signal is

still too strong. The noise level can be attenu- ated and S/N greatly improved.

• If the noise level is high or the received signal is extremely strong, the incoming signal level can be suppressed with the IPO/ATT settings. If the S-meter fluctuates S-3 or more in the noise level, or the received signal is extremely strong and it causes a high S-meter indication (+20dB or more), activate the attenuator.

• Since IPO does not only attenuate the incom- ing signal, but also improves the cross mod- ulation characteristic, try to activate the IPO first. If the signal is still strong, also use the ATT. In this way, you can attenuate the incom- ing signal and noise effectively.

R.FIL (

Displays the bandwidth of the currently selected

roong lter.

Switches the crystal roofing filters of 300Hz*, 600Hz, 1.2kHz*, 3kHz, and 12 kHz that are in- stalled in this transceiver.

Normally, filters are automatically switched de-

pending on the operation mode, however the lter

may be changed according to the conditions or

when an optional lter is installed.

Roofing filters are to be set independently for each operation band.

* 300Hz & 1.2kHz roofing filters are optional.

(300Hz is included on the MAIN side with the FTDX101MP)

After touching [R. FIL], touch the desired lter.

If the optional 300Hz and 1.2kHz filters are not installed, “300Hz” and “1.2kHz” will not be dis- played.

Displays the currently selected AGC setting.

The AGC system is designed to help compen- sate for fading and other propagation effects. The AGC characteristics can be individually set for each operating mode. The basic objective of AGC is to maintain a constant audio output level once a certain minimum threshold of signal strength is achieved. After touching [AGC], touch the desired time con- stant.

● AGC can be set for each operation band.

● The “AUTO” selection mode selects the opti-

mum receiver-recovery time for the reception mode.

Operating Mode AUTO AGC Selection

SSB / AM SLOW

CW / FM / DATA-FM FAST

RTTY / PSK DATA-L / DATA-U

Normally, AGC is set to “AUTO”, which auto- matically selects the time constant according to the received signal type, but when receiving a weak signal or when there is noise and fading, the AGC action may be changed according to the reception condition at that time. Change the time constant to make received signals most audible

MID

Several aspects of AGC performance may be configured via the Menu. However, because AGC can have such a profound impact on over- all receiver performance, we generally do not recommend any changes to the AGC Menu se- lections until you are thoroughly familiar with the performance of the FTDX101.

Scope Display Setting

In addition to the conventional two-dimensional waterfall spectrum display, Yaesu has added the 3-Dimen- sion Spectrum Stream (3DSS) color display. The constantly changing band conditions and signals are depicted in real time and color. The frequency span is shown on the horizontal X axis, the vertical Y axis depicts the signals and their strengths, and the time is represented on the receding Z axis. The FTDX101 operator can intuitively grasp the band and signal conditions at any instant.

When VC Tune operates, the steep attenuation characteristics of VC Tune may cause some signals in the spectrum scope to be attenuated and disappear, or the screen may not look uniform, but this is not a malfunc- tion.

CENTER/CURSOR/FIX

Switches the Spectrum Scope operation each time the key is touched.

• When the display area is touched, the receive frequency is moved to that point.

• In CENTER mode, the frequency touched becomes the center.

• In CURSOR and FIX mode, the marker and the receive frequency move to the touched position.

• Press and hold the [FAST] key in the CENTER and CURSOR modes, the Hz digit of the receive frequency

will be “0”.

• Press and hold the [FAST] key in FIX mode, the receive frequency returns to the start frequency of the dis- play area.

• CENTER

The receive frequency is always shown at the cen- ter of the screen and spectrum display. The band spectrum is shown within the range set by “SPAN”. The CENTER mode is convenient for monitoring the situation around the operating frequency.

• CURSOR

Monitors the spectrum within the range set with “SPAN”. When the frequency (marker) exceeds the upper limit or the lower limit of the range, the screen is automatically scrolled and the status out- side the setting range can be observed.

About TFT Displays

FTDX101 series utilizes a TFT liquid-crystal display.

Although TFT liquid-crystal displays are made using very precise technology, they are prone to develop dead pixels (dark dot) or pixels that are always on (bright dot). Please understand that such phenomena do not constitute product defects or malfunctions. Rather, this phenomena occurs due to limitations in the manufacturing technology with respect to TFT liquid-crystal dis- plays.

• Depending on the viewing angle, unevenness in color or brightness may occur. Please note that any unevenness observed is inherent to the construction of TFT liquid crystal displays and there- fore does not constitute a product defect or malfunction.

• If your TFT liquid-crystal display becomes dirty, please use a dry soft cloth or tissue to wipe the display clean. Use of glass cleaner, household cleaners, organic solvents, alcohol, abrasives, and/or like substance may damage the TFT liquid-crystal display.

● If you are using the speaker for monitoring,

instead of headphones, excessive advancement of the Monitor level can cause feedback to occur. Additionally, this feedback can cause the VOX system to hang up in a loop, making it impossible to return to receive. Therefore, we recommend the use of headphones, if at all possible, or the minimum usable setting of the Monitor level, if the speaker must be used.

3. To switch the Monitor OFF again, press the [MONI] key once more.

● Because the Monitor feature samples the trans-

mitter IF signal, it can be very useful for checking the adjustment of the Speech Processor or Para- metric Equalizer on SSB, and for checking the general signal quality on AM.

• Offsets of up to ±9990 Hz may be set us- ing the Clarier.

• TX Clarier

The transmit frequency can be changed without moving the receive frequency of the transceiver. Normally, the clarier is used to move only the re- ceive frequency and compensate for the deviation of the transmission frequency of the contact station, however alternatively, only the transmit frequency can be moved without changing the transmitter. When responding to an operator that is called by a large number of stations such as in a contest, etc., the response rate may increase if the transmit fre- quency is moved slightly.

1. Press the [CLAR] key on the top left of the MPVD ring to light the indicator.

2. Press the [CLAR TX] key.

3. Rotate the MPVD ring to change only the trans- mit frequency.

• The “CLAR TX” will appear in the display, and the programmed offset will be applied to the transmit frequency.

• Offsets of up to ±9990 Hz may be set us- ing the Clarier.

4. To cancel Clarifier operation, press the [CLAR TX] key.

To clear out the programmed clarifier offset alto- gether, and reset it to “zero”, press and hold the [CLAR RX], [CLAR TX] or [CLAR] key.

• To offset the frequency with the TX Clarier Adjust receive frequency

When the transmit frequency is offset with the TX

Clarier, it can be reset to the same frequency as

the TX frequency offset from the receive frequency. After offsetting the transmit frequency, press the [CLAR RX] key. The “CLAR TX” display changes to “CLAR TRX” and the receive frequency becomes the same as the transmit frequency.

4. To cancel Clarifier operation, press the [CLAR RX] key.

Refer to Figure “B”, this illustrates an “indentation”

of the Contour lter in the center of the passband.

Counterclockwise rotation (to the left) of the [CONT/APF] knob causes the notch to move to-

ward a lower frequency within the passband (g. A),

while clockwise rotation (to the right) causes the notch to move toward a higher frequency within

the passband (g. C). By removing interference or

unwanted frequency components of the incoming signal, it is possible to make the desired signal rise out of the background noise/interference, and enhance intelligibility.

IF BANDWIDTH IF BANDWIDTHIF BANDWIDTH

SHIFT knob SHIFT knob SHIFT knob

APF (Audio Peak Filter)

During CW operation, when interference or noise is present, the center frequency is automatically set to the PITCH frequency, making it easier to hear the desired signal. The APF function can be operated individually for MAIN band and SUB band.

1. Rotate the [CONT/APF] knob to the left or right to reduce any interference.

2. To exit from APF operation, press the [APF] key again.

SHIFT, WIDTH

Inner Knob (SHIFT)

IF SHIFT permits moving the DSP lter passband

higher or lower, without changing the pitch of the incoming signal, and thus reduces or eliminates in- terference. Because the tuned carrier frequency is not varied, there is no need to re-tune the operating frequency to eliminate the interference. The total passband tuning range for the IF SHIFT system is ±1.2 kHz. The SHIFT function can be operated individually for MAIN band and SUB band.

Rotate the [SHIFT] knob to the left or right to re- duce interfering signals.

● Rotate the [SHIFT] knob to display the shift offset of the IF lter (-1200Hz to +1200Hz).

● Press and hold the [SHIFT] knob to quickly move the lter passband to center.

● On the filter function display area, you can ob-

serve the direction of the shift.

● While the SHIFT function is active, the indicator

on the left side of the [SHIFT] knob will light.

Refer to Figure “A” and notice the depiction of the IF DSP filter as a thick line in the center of the passband. In Figure “B”, an interfering signal has appeared inside the original passband. In Figure “C", you can see the effect of rotating the [SHIFT] knob. The interference level is reduced by moving the l- ter passband so that the interference is outside of the passband.

The IF WIDTH tuning system allows you to vary the width of the DSP IF passband, to reduce or elimi- nate interference. Moreover, the bandwidth may actually be expanded from its default setting, should you wish to enhance incoming signal fidelity when interference on the band is low.

Rotate the [WIDTH] knob counter-clockwise to nar- row the bandwidth and reduce interference.

● To increase the bandwidth, rotate the knob clock- wise.

● Rotate the [WIDTH] knob, the IF lter bandwidth

WIDTH and SHIFT can be adjusted alter- nately, while listening for the best reception point. CONTOUR and NOTCH may be used to- gether to effectively eliminate inter- ference and increase intelligibility

Referring to Figure “B", you can see the default bandwidth of the SSB mode.

By rotating the [SHIFT] knob to the left, the bandwidth will narrow (see Figure “A”), while rotation of the [SHIFT] knob to the right, will increase the bandwidth as depicted in Figure “C”.

The default bandwidths, and total bandwidth adjustment range, will vary according to the operating mode (see table below).

Using IF SHIFT and WIDTH Together

The IF SHIFT and Variable IF WIDTH features together form a very effective interference-ghting l- tering system.

For example, in Figure “A", you can see how in- terference has appeared both on the high and low sides of the desired signal.

Rotate the [WIDTH] knob, the interference from one side can be eliminated (Figure “B”). Next, rotate the [SHIFT] knob to re-position the passband (Figure “C”), the inter- ference on the opposite side can be removed, without re-introducing the interference previously eliminated in Figure “B”.

For best interference reduction, the WIDTH and SHIFT features are the primary tools you should use, after nar- rowing the bandwidth (WIDTH) and/or adjusting the center of the passband (SHIFT). The Contour control may

then yield additional signal-enhancement benets on the net residual bandwidth. Even more, the IF NOTCH Filter (described later) may also be used, in conjunction with these lter systems, to signicant advantage.

Using the Automatic Antenna Tuner

The Automatic Antenna Tuner (ATU) is built into each FTDX101 series. The ATU is designed to ensure

thata50-Ohmantennaimpedanceloadispresentedtothenalamplierstageofthetransmitter.

• Because the FTDX101 ATU is located inside transceiver, it can only adjust the impedance presented to the

transceiverendof thecoaxial cablefeedline.It doesnot“tune”theSWR attheantenna feedpoint itself. Whendesigningandbuildinganantennasystem,werecommendthateverye󰀨ortbemadetoalsoensurea lowSWRattheantennafeedpoint.

• TheATUinthe FTDX101is designedtomatch impedanceswithin therangeof 16.5Ohms to150Ohms, correspondingtoan SWRof 3:1orless ontheHF amateurbands (6mamateur band:25 Ohmsto100 Ohms,correspondingtoanSWRof2:1orless).Accordingly,simplenon-resonantwhipantennas,alongwith random-lengthwires andthe“G5RV”antenna(on mostbands)maynotbe withintheimpedancematching rangeoftheATU.

• Thebuilt-inantennatunercannotbeusedwithanantennaconnectorconnectedtoanexternalantennatun- er(page102).

• ATU Operation

1. Press the [TUNE] key momentarily to place the ATU in the transmit line (no adjustment or

tuningwilloccuryet). WhiletheATUfunctionis activated,theLED insidethe[TUNE]keyglowsorange.

●The momentarypressofthe [TUNE]key

willturnthetunerON,andthemicroproces- sorwillautomaticallyselectthetuningpoint closesttothecurrentoperatingfrequency.

2. Press and hold the [TUNE] key to begin auto-

matic tuning.

●The transmitterwillbeengaged, andthe

LEDinside[TUNE] keywillblink whiletun-

ing is in progress.

●Always listenontheoperating frequency

beforebeginningthe tuningprocess,to be suretuningwillnotinterferewithotherswho mayalreadybeusingthefrequency.

●Whenthe optimumtuningpoint hasbeen

achieved,thetransceiver willreturnto re- ceive,andtheLEDinsidethe[TUNER]key willagainglowsteadily(insteadofblinking).

3. TodisengagetheATUfromthe transmitline,

press the [TUNE] key momentarily.

The ATU microprocessor memories store the

recordofthe capacitorsand inductorsselected totuneeach 10kHz windowinwhich tuning

has occurred. This eliminates the need to re-

tuneeverytimeoperationreturnstoafrequency onwhichthe tuningprocess hasalreadybeen

completed.

Figure 1 depicts a situation where normal tuning via the ATU has been successfully completed, and the

SWR after ATU TuningFrequency

tuning data has been stored in the ATU memory. The antenna system SWR as seen by the transmitter is shown.

In Figure 2, the operator has changed frequency, and the “HI-SWR” icon has appeared. The operator presses and holds in the TUNE button for one second to begin impedance matching using the ATU.

If a high SWR condition exists (above 3:1), corrective action must be taken in the antenna system to bring the impedance closer to 50 Ohms. The ATU will refuse to memorize settings on frequencies where the SWR exceeds 3:1. A High SWR may indicate a mechanical failure in the feed system, and can lead to the generation of spurious signals causing TVI, etc.

● As shipped from the factory, the FTDX101

CW TX/RX is congured for “Semibreak-in”

operation. However, using Menu item “CW BK-IN TYPE” (page 93), this set- up may be changed to full break-in (QSK) operation, wherein the switching is quick enough to hear incoming signals in the spaces between the dots and dashes of the transmission. This may prove very useful during contest and traffic handling opera- tions.

● If the [BK-IN] key is set to Off, CW sending

may be practiced with the sidetone only, without having the signal transmitted over the air.

● To enable the CW keying operation in LSB/

USB mode and send CW signals without switching the transceiver to CW mode, change Menu item “CW AUTO MODE” (page 93). Note: “CW AUTO MODE” operation Select

CW mode, Press the BK-IN button, and then select the SSB mode (LSB or USB).

● The same operating frequency may

be maintained and displayed when switching the transceiver between SSB and CW mode, by setting Menu item “CW FREQ DISPLAY” (page 94).

VFO and Memory Scanning

MAIN band SUB band

Either the VFO or the memory channels of the FTDX101 may be scanned, and the receiver will halt scan- ning on any frequency with a signal strong enough to open the receiver squelch. In the SSB/CW and SSB-based Data modes, the decimal points in the frequency display area will blink and the scanner will slow down (but does not stop).

VFO/Memory Scan

1. Set the frequency or Memory channel at which scanning is to begin.

2. Rotate the [RF/SQL] knob so that the back- ground noise is just silenced (page 42,

43).

3. Press the [FUNC] key.

4. Touch [SCAN] to start scanning.

● You can start scanning by pressing and

holding the UP or DWN key on the micro- phone.

● If the scanner halts on an incoming signal,

the decimal point between the “MHz” and “kHz” digits of the frequency display will blink.

● The operation when a signal is received

during scanning varies depending on the mode type.

To cancel scanning, press the PTT switch, or press any key on the front panel of the transceiv- er. If the microphone PTT button is pressed during scanning, the scanner will halt at once. However, pressing the PTT button while scanning will not cause transmission.

● If you have no interest in scanning, and wish to

prohibit the microphone UP/DWN buttons from initiating scanning, you may disable scanning control from the microphone using Menu item

[OPERATION SETTING] → [GENERAL] →

[MIC SCAN] (page 98).

● During Memory Group operation, only the

channels within the current Memory Group will be scanned.

● The manner in which the scanner resumes af- ter it has paused on a signal may be selected by using Menu item [OPERATION SETTING]

→ [GENERAL] → [MIC SCAN RESUME] (page

98).

The default “TIME” (5 sec) setting will cause the scanner to resume scanning after five seconds; however the scan setting may be changed to resume only after the received sig- nal has dropped out.

Other than

SSB, CW

● If the scan has paused on a signal, press- ing the microphone UP or DWN button will cause scanning to resume instantly.

● If the Main Tuning Dial knob is rotated while

scanning is in progress, the VFO scanning or memory channel scanning will continue up or down in accordance with the direction of the Dial Knob rotation. (In other words, if the dial is rotated to the left when scanning toward a higher frequency or memory chan- nel number, the direction of the scan will reverse.)

Scanning will pause.

Scanning speed will be slower, but scanning will not be paused.

Programmable Memory Scan (PMS)

MAIN band SUB band

To limit scanning (and manual tuning) to a particular frequency range, the Programmable Memory Scan- ning (PMS) feature utilizes nine special-purpose memory pairs (“M-P1L/M-P1U through M-P9L/ M-P9U). The PMS feature is especially useful in helping to observe any operating sub-band limits which apply to your Amateur license class.

First: store the Lower and Upper tuning/scanning limit frequencies into the memory pair “M-P1L” and “M-P1U”, respectively (or any other “L/U” pair of special PMS memories).

1. Recall the memory channel "M-P1L".

2. Rotate the [RF/SQL] knob so that the back- ground noise is just silenced (page 42,

43).

3. Turn the Main Dial knob slightly (to activate memory tuning).

● The Memory Channel “M-PL1” will be re-

placed by “PMS”.

4. Press the [FUNC] key.

5. Touch [SCAN] to start PMS.

● Scanning is only between frequencies

stored in M-P1L and M-P1U.

● Start scanning by pressing and holding the

UP or DWN key on the microphone.

● The operation when a signal is received

during scanning varies depending on the mode type.

If the microphone PTT button is pressed during scanning, the scanner will halt at once. However, pressing the PTT button while scanning will not cause transmission.

● If you have no interest in scanning, and wish to

prohibit the microphone UP/DWN buttons from initiating scanning, you may disable scanning control from the microphone using Menu item

[OPERATION SETTING] → [GENERAL] →

[MIC SCAN] (page 98).

● The manner in which the scanner resumes af- ter it has paused on a signal may be selected by using Menu item [OPERATION SETTING]

Other than

● If the scan has paused on a signal, press- ing the microphone UP or DWN button will cause scanning to resume instantly.

● If the Main Tuning Dial knob is rotated while

scanning is in progress, the scanning will continue up or down in frequency according to the direction of the Dial Knob rotation. (in other words, if the dial is rotated to the left when scanning toward a higher frequency, the direction of the scan will reverse.)

To cancel scanning, press the PTT switch, or press any key on the front panel of the transceiv- er.

SSB, CW

Scanning will pause.

Scanning speed will be slower, but scanning will not be paused.
